Reasons for so many SPF cars for sale?

-Lots of them sold by dealers to guys who think they want a Cobra but......
-Cobra is not like a Vette - it is a RAW hot rod
-They build lots of them
-They are expensive and I think many of their owners can afford to buy one, drive it a few thousand miles and then sell them for something else
-Not long ago SPF was viewed along with ERA as THE top car to own (excluding the ultra expensive SAI Aluminum cars) - Kirkham $40K Aluminum cars have given many SPF owners an option to "upgrade"
-They sell through a dealer network that makes driving one without turning a wrench very easy - Easy in = Easy out
-Many of the resale cars have BB motors that may scare the hell out of their owners (unexperienced driver + 500HP = garage queen)

With so many NICE SPF cars for sale it will be interesting to see what kind of money they bring. IMHO most SPF cars are being listed at prices that do not reflect the current market and looks to me like most are not finding new homes.
